How is this "an issue with Modern PC games"? When the exact same issue is part of the console experience as well.
The problem is no matter what people or the industry does there are going to be upset at what is happening and try and point the finger as someone. I was reading the other day how some people are upset about how Dragon Age: Inquisition looks on the 360/PS3 for they were expecting something closer to what the XB1/PS4/PC can do. I think any attempt to try and have multiple versions of a game will meet the same response as well even if its completely optional or something their current hardware is unable to do.
For me at least there are options around my bandwidth cap until I got a new provider and Amazon was the best for that for I bought the games from them and generally at a decent price (I refuse to buy at GameStop/EBGames), but my big issue with developers anymore is that they don't seem to be able to schedule enough Quality Assurance time before the game goes gold anymore requiring mega patches which becomes a necessity because the game could be unplayable without them.
